Supporters Finius Posted November 9, 2011 Author Supporters Share Posted November 9, 2011 My ork warboss - last thing I had a proper go at, mostly represents my best painting skills, would like to improve enough to commission paint eventually but think I'm a long way off! Not sure how to base him, will decide once Ive done the remaining black reach orks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Nice, I like it Like the skin, not lime green like a lot of orks I've seen! Sand for the base perhaps? Here's my WIP photos of my latest project. Someone put up some tutorials for how to paint battle-damaged Imperial Fists, so I thought I'd have a go. Still WIP, but quick to paint. And also - for my Dark Heresy/Inq28mm project, a 'true-scale'. The techmarine's legs have been completely re-sculpted. Not sure how to base him, thinking industrial or space-hulk They're taking longer than planned, nearly finished though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Finius Posted June 16, 2012 Author Supporters Share Posted June 16, 2012 So I've been wiling away at my army for some time now, and unfortunately due to the nature of student living, it's been packed away for the best part of a month and unfortunately, there was some damage, whilst taking the time to assess the situation (mostly gluing heads back on, few snapped swords, nothing some green stuff, superglue and a repaint won't fix), I decided to inventory my Black Templars force. This is an apocalypse force, and is structured/insane as such. Command Squad: StormLord Superheavy Tank; Yarrick's Gift w/ extra armor. -Grimaldus & Retinue -Helbrecht & Retinue -Techmarine -10 Marine Command Squad -Force Commander/Marshal Additional HQ: -Emperors Champion Elites: -Techmarine & Servitors (riding along in the StormLord as a detached squad, because this is Apoc and that's how we roll). -Dreadnaught -5 Sword Bretheren -5 Terminators Fast Attack: -Bike Squad (4 normal, 1 attack) -Land Speeder Typhoon -5 Jump Marines Troops: -10 Normal Marines (Rhino transport) -5 Normal Marines Heavy Support: -Landraider Codex Detachments ("Donations" from other codices sent to "help out"): -Blood Angels Stormraven w/ 5 Death Company & Chaplain -5 Dark Angels Veterans w/ Librarian It's shaping up to be a pretty scary force, the guys at my local store certainly don't like facing off to the StormLord and the squad within (so far I've fielded just that against 1500pt tyranids, tau, orks and eldar and come away pretty much unscathed). Next up will be: -Sisters of battle Repentia & an immolator -Space Wolf wolves and cavalry! -Basilisks/Manticores -Grey Knights -More Templar troops -Stormtalon Gunships (these will be the Ultramarine donation) -More bikes (Ravenwing and White Scars donations) -Some sort of scary forgeworld thingy *Each "donation" squad will also be fielding a command unit from the respective army - the idea I'm going for is that Helbrecht is facing off against something nasty and has been given a number of extra units from other codices or areas of the imperium in order to demonstrate his prowess as a mentor. And the forgeworld thingy? Well that's going the way of Grimaldus; he wanted it so he took it, whether or not he was really allowed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kungfumonkey Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 used to paint and convert back in the day never got into the table top side of things may have to pick a box of marines up and see how pants i have become lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrax Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I feel I should just add that yesterday I did a bit of target shooting with the damaged parts of my Tau Army. They have been in poor storage for a good few years, and there were many casualties. Befitting the fact they are a ranged army, I set the broken ones up at the end of the garden and preceded to obliterate them with an air rifle. The troops were very hard to hit, the battle suits, not so much. Good times. Its slightly depressing shooting a £15 model, but hey ho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Finius Posted June 18, 2012 Author Supporters Share Posted June 18, 2012 Should have sent them my way! I've got some tau that need bulking out xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Airsoft-Ed Posted June 18, 2012 Supporters Share Posted June 18, 2012 I think little models of this sort make the best air rifle targets ever, their strange, brittle, puny (metal? I can't remember) bodies just explode into a billion pieces if you hit them right. Crazybones are another thing that make awesome targets - Shame they're too small to be able to hit them at range with an airsoft gun though, my air rifle's seen better days, i.e. the ones before it was 6+ years old and knackered.

Hubert Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Loving Grimaldus and the DA Librarian So, the new 6th Edition starter set, Dark Vengence came out t'other weekend. Anyone else pick it up? It's bloody nice. Really, really insane amount of detail on everything. Unfortunately, I now want to start a Chaos army. Bugger... Also, does anyone play Dawn of War 2? Want to team up? If you do, message me on Steam - Huberticus (but say you're from AFUK). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters M_P Posted October 6, 2012 Supporters Share Posted October 6, 2012 Having just finished reading IA11, The Doom of Mymeara I am very interested in restarting, will have to get the 6th ed rulebook and stuff and get learning again. Aiming to build up to an apoc Eldar army- shame their codex is still from the end of 4th ed if I remember correctly... wouldn't mind an update on that might pick up a few bits over the next few weeks to see what's what.

Hubert Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 In the process of working on my Horus Heresy era Iron Hands. No idea on points, as most of them still need painting Here's my warlord, legion Iron Father Huberticus. He started life out as one of these - Simple arm-swap and bit of a cut-job, but I like it. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Space_Marines/Space_Marine-Infantry-and-Accessories/VALTHEX-ASTRAL-CLAWS-MASTER-OF-THE-FORGE.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the de-facto leader of my much neglected toy soldier army: Uploaded with ImageShack.us And his sidekick: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Both have been re-based since those photos were taken and having looked at them I'm seriously tempted to get the paints out of storage and do some more!

Hubert Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Thanks My painting's far from great, but I'm better at painting flesh than armour. I gotta say I've wandered into your topics over on the B&C a few times before, and am always impressed with your painting. Especially your Red Scorps army, something I can just stare at for ages.

Supporters jcheeseright Posted July 29, 2013 Supporters Share Posted July 29, 2013 thanks dude, I'm thinking of breaking out the brushes again soon ish and maybe doing a bit more for the red scorpions... need to finish off the blood angels first though!
